The most basic components of a GraphQL schema are object types, a type you can fetch from your schema, with fields:

1const User = objectType({
2  name: 'User',
3  definition(t) {
4    t.int('id', { description: 'Id of the user' })
5    t.string('fullName', { description: 'Full name of the user' })
6    t.field('status', { type: StatusEnum })
7    t.list.field('posts', {
8      type: Post, // or "Post"
9      resolve(root, args, ctx) {
10        return ctx.getUser(root.id).posts()
11      },
12    })
13  },
14})
15
16const Post = objectType({
17  name: 'Post',
18  definition(t) {
19    t.int('id')
20    t.string('title')
21  },
22})
23
24const StatusEnum = enumType({
25  name: 'StatusEnum',
26  members: {
27    ACTIVE: 1,
28    DISABLED: 2,
29  },
30})

queryType / mutationType are shorthand for the root types.
